BRUSH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 2, 1906.

Application filed February 1, 1906. Serial No. 299.060.

To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that we, MAX. H. GUGGEN- HEIM and MARTIN G. NEUBURG, citizens of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brushes; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to improvements in brushes to be carried in hats, surgical bags, traveling-cases, and the like.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, convenient, and comparatively inexpensive brush of this character which has means whereby it may be readily applied to or removed from the sweat-band of a hat and the lining or partition in a hand-bag, satchel, or the like.

lVith the above and other objects in view our invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a sectional view through a hat, showing our improved brush therein upon its sweat-band. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the brush, and Fig. 3 is a transverse seetional view through the same.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, l

. denotes a brush of any desired form and construction, but which, as shown, comprises a back or body 2, from which projects the bristles 3. The body 2 has preferably a slight longitudinal curvature, and its top or upper' face is beveled, as shown. Secured upon the broader side or edge of the body 2 is a metal hand-plate 4, which is adapted to serve as a handle for the brush. This plate 4 is preferably shaped as shown, so as to be conveniently grasped, and its lower edge is secured to the body 2 by nails, screws, or the like 5. .In order to attach the brush to the sweat-band of a hat or to the lining or partition in a hand-bag, Satchel, or the like, we provide a spring-jaw 6. The latter is preferably in the form of a small steel plate which has its inner end 7 odset and secured between the hand-plate 4 and the body 2 by the screws or other fastenings 5, and its outer edge is bent inwardly and notched or serrated to form teeth 8, which normally engage -the hand-plate 4. This spring jaw or plate 6 is adapted to be swung away from the hand-plate 4 to permit the insertion of a hatband or the like between the same by a finger piece or knob 9, which is attached to the plate 6 and projects angularly from the same. As shown, the finger-piece 9 is attached to the plate 6 by passing its reduced end yl0 through an opening in said plate and iattening or heading said end, as seen in Fig. 3 of the drawings. It will be seen that by placing the fingers upon the bristles of the brush and pressing with the thumb upon the finger-piece or knob 9 the spring aw or plate 6 may be moved away from the hand-plate 4, so that the device may be readily applied to the sweat-band of a hat, as shown 1n Fig. 1, or to any other suitable support.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to Without departing from the principle or sacricing any of the advantages of this invention as dened by the appended claim.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Abrush of the character described comprising a body having a beveled top, bristles projecting from the bottom face of said body, a hand-plate secured upon the thicker side of said body, a spring jaw or plate having an offset end secured between said hand-plate and said body, and its opposite end bent inwardly and formed with teeth to normally engage said hand-plate, and a nger-piece attached to said spring-jaw and rojecting angularly therefrom, substantial y as described.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
